THE SUN'?-LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER, 30, 1836. ~,,. , '•, IRELAND. Dublin, Nov. 29 TILE BANKS.—The Irish Journals arc silent on the sub ject of the late run for gold—the inference is that the panic has ceased. re mature • TRADES' UNION. — The intelli g ence of the p demise of Maurice O'Connell, second son of John O'Con nell, of Grena , Esq. , reache,l town on Saturday evening. The event took place at the Catholic Seminary at Oscott. lie was in his 17th year. In co nsequence of te ditseathpro of Mr. O'Connell's nephew, the Union did n ot, h h old posad meeting on Sunday. THE DINNER.—The Tories have so lauded the unity of s entithent--the identity of feeling—the recti tude of heart—and the true spirit of Protestantism dis played on this occasion, that we are not at all surprised to find that the entire has proved to be little else than a splendid ingenious device." R EG ISTRATION.—On Saturday in the city a majority of 104 was gained by the Orangemen. APPOINTMENTS.—The Pilot perseveres in censuring se veral of the recent appointments, especially in the Police department. Our Contemporary attribates also to Lord Brabazon the blame of not coming forward and preventing the necessity of the sacrifice of office which r. Fitzsimon recently made. We arc free to confess with I reference to 1 the general subject, that although no Tory, no enemy to the Government s hould be appointed or promoted to office in Ireland, that it were, nevertheless, by no means the wisest policy to limit too narrowly the grounds within.which app ointments may be'conferred ; neither ought official fitness and „aptitude be lost sight of in pronouncing upon the propriey of any particular appointment. Kilkenny Journal informs us that a Major Izzod, se ttthe Orange Club of that county, who formerly cretary to refused to take out his commission under a Whig Govern ment, has been appointed a Magistrate, and also his son, Lorenzo, a thorough Tory. Such appointments as those are evidently obnoxious to censure, and seem calculated to w eaken the influence of the Government, when we perceive that many Liberals, whose principles, station, character, and conduct, have been passed over. REPRESENTATION CIF LONGFORD. ---The Mail of this afternoon is in ecstacics, and announces, with a most mag nificent flourish, that the party of which he, is the organ, • have beat up a Tory.candidate for the County representa tion. The gentleman who has been prevailed upo to allow himself to be put forward on this occasion, is gr. n Charles Fox. It appears that it was settled on Saturday, at a meeting of some of this gentleman's friends at Longford, that he should contest the county, and a resolution accor dingly was then and there agreed upon. Of the result, there can be no doubt. Mr. Luke White it is generally admitted will beat his dpponent out of the field with but little exertion. Mr. Fox must run bard for the political eminence he can never reach—and worse than all, will bleed profusely ; he will lose his money , and be " brushed" into the bargain . BARON O'LOGHLEN.—The following testimony to the merits of the new Baron is extorted even from an enemy, the Mail:—" Baron O'Loghlen has been sitting alone (we will not say " in his glory") for the last two days in the Court of Exchequer, disposing of tithe motions, and meting., out justice to " rebellious ruffians" with as even a hand as heart could wish ; and adjudicating points, and deciding questions precisely 'as Barons Pennefather, Foster, or the Chief Baron would have done, if they were the presiding Judges. We can tell our contemporaries that it is one thing, as an advocate, to advance arguments against a point or a practice, of which the same individual, as a Judge, takes a very different view." THE PROTESTANTS CONSIGNED TO HELL BY A PRIEST.—The following is a specimen of the mendacious effrontery with which the Tories invent " facts :"—Last week a respectable married woman waited on a Wriest, not ten miles from Borris, in this county, for ti performance of some religious duty. He enquired why her husband did not attend also, to which she replied, she did not know. Priest—l know the reason ; like his master, he is a Pro testant, and their souls will TAKE FIRE before they are within one mile of hell ! ! The gullibility of every person who could lend credence to a story so atrociously absurd must be as illimitable as the regions of black boundless bigotry. MATERNAL RIGHTS T.—A motion was made on Thurs day last in the Court of King's Bench, for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Mrs. Elizabeth O'Neil, a widow, to procure the restoration of her children, forcibly detained from her by the sister of her late husband. Of this motion the Mail makes a peg on_which to exhibit its religious ran cour, by suspending a great many heavy and illiberal re marks touching the proselytism alleged to have been attempted by a Roman Catholic aunt, acting under the direction of her' spiritual advisers. The article concludes thus :—" Mrs. O'Neil is a Protestant. She naturally desires • to enjoy the love of her own children, and to mould their youthful minds to the principles of that form of Chris tianity which she conscientiously believes to be the truth ; there is n e , human power recognized by our buy which ::-111 uneriere ana ner natural rights and obliga tions : and certain we are that the award of the Court in this case will be such as to put an end to such unrighteous proceedings, whether they be the result of personal and in dividual bigotry, or whether they arise from a systematic usurpation on the part of the Roman Catholic Clergy." Our Irish Contemporary, we should have thought, might safely enough have left this strictly private affair to be ad judicated upon by the constituted legal tribunals of the country, and not have interposed, by a ttemptin g , in some sort, to substitute Mall-law for the law of the land. DR. ARNOTT'S STOVE. We have been admitted to a private view, of what we conceive will be one of the most invaluable inventions of the age. We allude to a stove, devised by Dr. Arnott, the celebrated inventor of the hydrostatic bed, the principle of which is, by regulating the draft and economising the heat, to produce an equable and healthy state of the atmos phere with the least possible expenditure of fuel. Seven eighths of the heat produced in an ordinary fire-place passes up the chimney, owing to the draft, and only one•eighth of the warmth is conveyed into the - room. In Dr. Arnott's stove a very small receptacle contains the fuel, upon which the draft is admitted through a contracted passage, the, en trance to which is regulated by a valve, which is itself closed and opened by the operation of a bar, partly of brass and partly of steel. This metallic bar fixed within the stove, and acted upon by the' internal atmosphere, contracts and expands according to the heat, opening the valve and in creasing the combustion as the heat diminishes, and dimi nishing the combustion as the heat increases. A large body of heated air is contained within the upper part of the stove, from the surface of which the warmth radiates into the apartment. The current: of air passing up the flue, is of course no more than equal to the draft admitted through the valve: We understand that the cost of the fuel by which a stove, in a room of moderate dimensions, was kept at a tem perature of 60 degrees, nightand day, for one month, was twenty pence. The stove will keep alight for sevcrarhours without being attended to. To.the poor, therefore, the benefit will be invaluable ; and we have - the gratification of adding, as an instance of almost unprecedented liberality, that Dr. Arnott does not propose to take out a patent, but as soon as the stoves are ready for " publication," he will invite manufacturers to copy them. We congratulate the public on a man of such first-rate talents applying his powers to the benefit of the human race, without hope of profit or e►nolument.—Hertford Refimiter. ELOPEMENT FROM.. CIIET.TFNIIANI.—An dope ment which took place from Cheltenha m on `Vedaesday has excited a good deal of discussion an, zonversation among our fashionable circles for the last three days, and is likely to occasion a good deal tore before the affair is fully investigated and settle d. It a pp ear s that the young lady (M; of Worcestershire) , who, w ith h er family, we.., en a visit in Chelte nham, bein g p r esent at the Assembly-rcom Ball, on Monday evenin g , was ther e intro duced to Mr. S-, an Irish Barr ister, who, captivated at first sight with her c harms, appears to have made good use of his time in winning her affections, since it is said, that down to the hour of introduction the parties were perfect strangers to each other. But be this as it may, they arranged and managed their affairs so well as, on Wednesday morning about nine, and during the absence of the young lady's mother, to secure and occupy the carriage prepared to convey Mr. A. and family to their home, and in it to set off at full speed on the road to London. As soon as this manoeuvre was detected, Mr. A. set off in pur- suit, but hitherto no clue has been discovered as to the destination of the fugitives. The young lady is said to possess considerable personal attractions, as well as large property.—Cledienham Looker-an. PRICES OF OF Si OCK'i THIS DAY Al ONE O'CLOCK.

Morning ......... 17 minutes after 7. 1 Evening 42 minutes after HAMBURGH, Nov. 15, 1836. n UR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGII, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage anly, but several inclosures would by fax increase the same. Thus 10/. 201., or 30/., for instanc e, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive 11Ioney from Hamburgb, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not fo overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPE R commenced this day o at 10 minutes past Three o ' Clock. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, 1836 It is understood that, a the Council held to-clay at Brighton, Parliament will be summoned to meet on Tuesday, the 31st of January, for the dispatch of busi ness. It was originally contemplated to meet earlier — either on the 10th or 17th—but circumstances arc sup• posed to have altered that intention. The cause of Poland is the cause of human liberty. In her late sanguinary subjugation by Russia, the in -f •• 111 A - 9.5bi117,11 the sight -and with the concurrence of Europe, were torn and trampled upon—and the most sacred rights of humanity were barbarously and inhumanly outraged. It is the duty—it is the interest of Englandnol only to sym pathise with her, but to assist in redressing her manifold wrongs. We are delighted to find that, notwithstanding the seeming apathy of the Government, the people of England lose no opportunity of expressing how cor dially they participate in these sentiments. They, at least, are not wanting in zeal in behalf of that cause which has crowded our cities with illustrious exiles. To the many proofs of this which they have already given, another was added last night, in the numerous meeting which was held at the Crown and Anchor Ta vern, to commemorate the patriotic rising of the Poles in November, 1830. The Chair was taken by the Hon. Colonel LEICESTER STANHOPE, long distin guished for his zeal in the cans:: of Polish indepen dence. The Meeting, as will be seen by our report, was attended by a number of Polish refugees, who in their own name, and the name of their fellow-coun trymen, thanked the British people for the support which they had already received. We sincerely hope the day is not distant when the people of this country shall have done something more for Poland than proffering an asylum to the exiled champions of her freedom. To merit her thanks, we must restore her that independence which we guaranteed to her by the Congress of Vienna. She has a right to this—first, because England signed a treaty which established her nationality ; again, because the existence of Poland, as an independent State, can alone set bounds to the ambition of Russia ; and thirdly, because a nation can know no duty more sacred . than that of protecting the liberties of allies, reduced to the necessity of implo ring her protection, against the inruaads of a barbarous despotism. However indifferent our Government may appear to the fate of Poland, there is not a member of it who is not convinced that the resuscitation of that gallant na tion is essential to the peace and prosperity of Europe. Moreover, we will "answer fOr it, that whenever France manifests a disposition. to -unite with us in representing to the CZAR the absolute necessity of relaxing the iron gripe with which he holds Poland in bondage, England will prove herself prepared to correct the fatal policy which restrained her interference in 1830. Our Go vernment was then greatly to blame, though not to the extent . a few enthusiastic friends of Poland imagine. One of the most memorable struggles between the aristocracy and the people, to be found in our history, had just commenced. The Reform Bill was then the all- a b sor bi ng ques ti on . Th e p eo ple thought of, spoke of, and h ear d o f no thi n g else. France was not less impo r t ant l y occupied. Before the first shock of the revoluti on w hi ch throne had placed the Orleans dynasty on t h e passed away, the triumph of Russia was complete. The revolutionary war between Belgium and Holland ; the war of independence in Portugal ; the s nom and s of a cival war of succession in Spain , o c convi nce d the Polish patr i ot , t h emse lves tltuag:lttkteomhoamv moment of their rising was ill chosen for ob . tanningthe support of England an d F rance . The growing influence of R uss i a, i n the C a bi net o f Paris, presents many serious obstacles to the deliverance of Poland, unless the English Parliament take up the question in a way not to be mistaken by any of the Great Continental PowCrs. The French Chamber Of Deputies will readily be brought to suppo rt t h e v i ew o f the subject taken by Great Britain ; and by this means, Louis PHILIPPE will be compelled to unite with England in demanding the independence of Poland. To stop short of delivering Poland —of restoring her.to the rank and independence of a free State—of enabling her to recall to her bosom the gallant exiles who fought so gloriously to maintain her rights, is to. leave undone - dPtliat- is really of importance to mankind. As to the peCuilinraid given to the illustrious exiles, we consider it of very little moment. In bestowing it we can hardly he said to discharge a public duty. Before acquiring a right to gratitude of Poland, we must sec that her name be restored to its proper place in the list of floe and inch pendent European States. When this is accomplished at the instance of our Government, England shall have discharged a duty, which will obtain for hcr, not only the gratitude of Poland, but the respect and confidence of the civilized world. Tardy reform has been th em e rock upon which arbi- 1 trary Governments and privileged classes •of men in all countries have been shipwrecked. Power, however unjustly obtained, when once obtained, has, it would. seem, too strong a hold upon the heart of man to be relinquished from any other consideration than the fear of immediate destruction to its depositaries. The most moderate petitions of the people for even a par,. tial restoration of their usurped rights, or for the slightest improvement in their notional institutions, are regarded as attacks upon the privileges of 4 1 M-fel t ) ! aristocracy, and treated with disdain, liy and bye petitions ripen into claims, and claims unsuccessfully urged - swell into demands. It is then—it is/ in this last stage—that the fearful swig& mugs, Popular feeling, exasperated by the 4enio Qf 3ils4QP, ff OIP opprma's wrongs," and " the prANd map's pen tnineiy," bacmo tai powerful for restraint—the peo ple assume an attitude OM) terrifieg their error ties, 1 ,:tnd gain by conquest that which had been refused t 9 justice, Such is the tale that history tells, from the earliest dawn of civilization, yet have its teachings been lis tened to ?--Have the privileged classes, as they call themselves, profited by the experience of their privileged predecessors in all ages and parts of the world ? Look to the conduct of the House of Lords for an answer. Not only does •this sapient assembly look upon history as an old almanack, but' it regar,ds its own personal experience in the same light. Not withstanding the humiliation which it sustained, by being, after fruitless opposition to the Catholic claims, compelled to pass a more liberal measure of relief than was originally contemplated by the Catholics themselves --notwithstanding lithe humiliation which it sustained, by being compelled to pass, on its knees, the sweeping Reform Bill, a year after it had refused to sanction so much Reform as would have transferred the franchise from the condemned rotten borough of East Retford to Manchester, the unre presented manufacturing capital of the British Em pire—notwithstanding, we say, this ample stock of experience on the question of tardy Reform, the Lords proceed in the same path which has so often led them to the brink of ruin. They have again and again rejected the small measure of Church Reform, which has been proposed for Ireland, and with which, while it provided liberally for the support of the" Church-of- England worship there, would have satisfied the Ca tholics. What has been the result ? The resolutions of the last meeting of the General Association of Ireland proclaim it in a way not very palatable to the opponents of timely Reform. All Ireland has now declared with one voice that tithes shall be abolished ; that though _ she may accept an instalment of this debt due to " national justice, she will never rest satisfied until the whole is paid. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. TiE IRONMONGERS' COMtAtiti Mr. PEMBERTON stated that in this case two infetinations bad been tiled by the Attorney-Ceneial against the - Iron-. mongers' Company. The first as in respect of a . charity called Campbell's Charity , established under- the w t ill of Sir John Campbell , dated Januar y 1,000 they were given lendto th o e u t I roofrniutol l n'esr6l3l-ImCL B o of 1001. Poor w'i that sl freemen of the Company, and that out of the interest aou income they should so receive, they should annly towards the JotleiVion 9F 'persons tvlio wore in ..prison for debt, lie go.ti" a further sum of 300/. which they were to lend out in equal proportions to-six ! nor men of the Company, at the rate of five marks (100/0 a year, and the interest arising from that he gave tlacCom ony for their own use. The Company, up to 1748, made various payments to &lice eihjects pointed out by the testa tor. In the year 1748, their accounts were examined, and it was then found that during the civil %vans, large sums of money had been taken up on compulsory loans. It was then thought it .would be reasonable to appropriate part , of the loss that had occurred to this and other charity funds, which was the subject of the next information ; and the consequence was, that from 1748 the defendants discontinued making the full amount of payments which they were liable. to make wwlar flag wl 1. • - I I '}'his state ett things 'aintinued for a period of .50 years, when the Charity Porainissioeus investigated the matter. Since that time they had duly applied the HI amount they were hound to account for, but had not made any t f i: l l; si o i f i t , l l ;a t r h r t e , a r e ge i f i e Qo r o i tn d a n ... t u s 0-b these htel: payments,nns e - r e r P e t tp i h e r t e l e : s l,Tv e: hr t ee ct .L l, loe t sa l i i r a ,n t ead a n l (Gi th e o ln u t g i e h m :yh had m b l : gratuitous ey ; t. a h n a ( t l . fund then st i a la te l d e th t a o t .m he ake them good.

The MASTER of the Rou.s said the only part of the - decree he could possibly have any objection to was that about the Charity being charged with costs, but after the statement that had been made, he did not see how he could avoid it. Mr. KINDERSLEY said the Iromongers' Company were desirous of not only saving the time of the Court, but of a ufeless investigation. the costs of which might, in fact, fall upon the Charity. Mr. PEMBERTON stated that the other information was filed under the same circumstances, and there would have to be the same decree. • ‘ P t 476) , t- • • `"-r , • 4 , 0-4" zabe . . EXAMINATION OF • ATTORNEYS AND SO CITORS.—It appears that, of the 101 candidates who were examined before the Common Law Boards of Examiners on the 10th inst., no less than 90 immediately received their certificates of" fitness and capacity" to act as attor neys. On the following day, after further consideration, six more were passed, but the remaining five were deemed unsatisfactory. In order to accommodate these latter gen tlemen, and to evade the necessity of an adjournment till a future Term, the examiners very considerately appointed an early day for the purpose re-examining them. We under stand that some further questions were put to each indivi dual in several of the departments . of the law and practice, and the additional examination took place on the 22d inst. —Legal Observer.

Journal de .Dunkirque. NEALE V. NEALE. 'rids bill was filed for the purpose of compelling the defendant to suffer a recovery of a copyhold estate in Glou cester, worth about 1001. a year, and to restrain the de fendant from proceeding with an action of ejectment. It appeared that on the 14th of May, 1747, the copy hold estate, which comprised the land in dispute, was sur rendered to the use of Joseph Neale, who was the grand father of the plaintiff and defendant, for the term of his life, with remainder to his wife, Mary Neale, with remainder to the use of her heirs.. Joseph Neale died in 1754, and left an only son James, who, upon the death of the widow was admitted as tenant for life. James Neale, by his will, devised his estate, expectant on the death of his wife, Unity, between his two sons, the plaintiff and defendant, in fee to them as tenants in com mon, their heirs and assigns. He died about the year 1800, when Unity, his wife, took possession, married . a se cond time, and she and her then husband were ad mitted under the will of James Neale. Unity died i n September, 1820. On the Bth of February, 1821, the plaintiff and defendant were admitted as tenants in common in fee, and entered into an agreement for a par tition of the copyhold. It was said the father could not make the will, because he had never come into possession of the copyhold, and that therefore the defendant Joseph, the eldest son and heir, would have been entitled. At the time their mother Unity married, she quitted the house, and left it, with the furniture, in the possession of the plaintiff and defendant, her two sons. Among the furni ture was a desk, in which were a number of papers. The two brothers entered into partnership as dairy farmers, and lived together. In July, 1809, the partnership was dissolved. and by an arrangement made between them Joseph became sole tenant of the house. In 1821 the plaintiff came to reside with his brother, and in the year 1828 the papers were removed by the defendant's wife from the desk into a chest of drawers in another room. The drawers were never locked ; and in the beginning of 1832 the defendant's son had the curiosity to look out some of the papers, and discovered a deed, which he communicated to his father. 1 ,1..• .h, Ni:ii,,wmitsLer or tne village, who could not give them much information upon it. In September,lB32, the defendant took the deed to his solicitor, who at once saw that an entail had, been erected, under which if not barred, the defendant was entitled. The Court rolls were searched. It was found that it had not been barred, and an action of ejectment was brought by the defendant to recover the other moiety. Under these circumstances, the bill was filed by the plaintiff. Mr. TINNEY was addressing the Court on behalf of the plaintiff, up to the time we;went to press. . - Re.naOme4,.-Islr.

Mr. KELLY Stllmitted that the plaintiff roust be called. He had proved no ease to go to the Jury. The LORD CHIEF BARON was of that opinion. He would nonsuit the plaintiff, reserving leave to Sir F. Pollock to move the Court to enter a verdict for the plaintiff for what sum the Court might think proper. SUIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DeAn, Nov. 29.—1 t continued last night to blow very strong from S. W. with rain, and towards noon the gale increased to a hurricane.

On hearing the result, the girl, who was quite a stranger to the 'man, volunteered her services to procure some refreshment for him, on hearing him call o ut from the lock-up that he had not eaten or drunk anything all day, and laid her child, an infant of about four or five months old, on the seat in the outer office, requesting the seamen and others, who were standing about, to look after it for a few minutes. She soon returned with bread, meat, and coffee for Allen, the sailor, which he very thankfully received from her hands.

KING'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.) ;Sittings at Nisi Prins, bcforc Mr. Justice WILLIAMSi and a Common Jury.) MATTHEW V. SCOTT. In this case, which ms an action brought by Mr. Mat thews, brother to the plaintiff in the case tried yesterday, against Alexander Scott for a malicious prosecution, a verdict for the plaintiff, with 601. damages, was taken by consent. SIMMONDS V. LAINSON AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by William Simmonds, a painter, residing near Bryanstone-square, nominally against the late Sheriffs Lainson and Solomans, the real defendant being Richard Maitland, an attorney practising in the in solvent Court, and the action was brought for what is called a false return. The plaintiff having done some work for George Maitland, a chemist and druggist, at his shop, 6, Bruton-street (who had also a shop at 67, Seymour-place) amounting to 13/. 10s., brought an action originally in the Palace Court, which was removed to the Court of King's Bench. A verdict was. had for the full amount claimed, which, with costs, amounted to 601., and a writ of Fieri Facias having been sued out, and placed in the hands of the Sheriff, Simmons was informed that George Maitland had no goods at all, and of course the writ fell to the ground. The def rice was that in the month of March last all the property at 6, Bruton-street, had been made over to Richard Maitland by bill of sale ; and that the property in the house, 67, Seymour-place, was only sufficient to pay the arrears of rent due to Richard Maitland:, the landlord. The question_ for the jury was whether the transfer of the property was a fraudulent pretence to avOid payment of the debt, or whether the father, Richard Mait land, was really and truly entitled to the property in both the houses. The Sheriffs had received an indemnity from Richard Maitland, who had taken upon himself the respon sibility of the entire proceedings. Mr. ERIE appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. HUM PHREYS for the defendant. The case was proceeding when we went to press. EXCHEQUER. COURT.-(THIS DAY LADD V. LYNN. This action was brought by the plaintiff to recover a sum of 201. 19s. Gd., the a mount of an attorney's bill for preparing(on the part of the wife), a deed of separation be tween the defendant and Mrs. Lynn, and 21. 9s. Gd., money lent. to her to save her from starvation. The defendant was clerk in one of the offices at Chelsea Hospital. After being twelve years married, in Oct. 1834, Mrs. Lynn went to live at her mother's in consequence o f some quarrels between her and her husband. In Janu ary, 1 835, a deed of separation was proposed and agreed to. When the original deed was signed, a solicitor, on behalf of M. Lynn, wished for a counterpart. The defendant's solicitor said Mr. Lynn would have no objection to it, but be would not be liable for the costs. Any credit given to Mrs. L. must be on their own acc oun t. Mrs. Lynn's sister was called, and deposed that her sister had been married twelve years. She and her mother lived in the house the last year Mr. and Mrs. L. resided together. One night, in October 1834, there was a violent dispute between the defendant and his wife, he insisting that she should leave. Witness and her mother left them together, and Mrs. Lynn came home to her mother's house next morning. She had then neither money nor property, and until her death in the following March, was nearly in a state of destitution. Her mother and witness were o bliged to do what they could for her. She made frequent application to Mr. Lynn, but got no money. Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY—Tier si,ster did not die of a &Ana brought on by excessive drinking. For the last few m onths she resided with her husband. In consequence of his ill temper and behaviour she had sometimes taken too much. Her mother never joined in the intemperance certain of that. The quarrel of which she had spoken was not about her sister pawning the plate, clothes, and a' clock off the mantel piece. Mr. Lynn did atilt what had become of the clock, and her sister said she had sent it to the watchmaker. He went out, and returned in a great rage, bccOse be had found out that it had been sent to the pawnbroker. fie was very violent, but did not say 0, word a bout, the plate and clothes, though in fact they were in pipvni THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

It was alleged by the plaintiff and his companions that the defendant committed an assault on the plaintiff ; and on the other hand, it was stated in evidence on the • other side, that so far from the blows being all on one side, the defen dant received more than his fair share of them.

Mr. Serjeant Arabin, assisted by Sir Peter Laurie, sat this morning, at nine o'clock, and disposed of one or two cases of larceny. Shortly after the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, accompanied by Mr. Justice Vaughan - and Mr. Baron Bolland, took their places on the Bench, and pro- ceeded with the trial of prisoners. BURGLARY,—•Ja)IIcs Laphant and Thomas Mead were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Mary Pot tinger, and stealing therefrom seven spoons and other pro- perty. Mary Pettinger—l reside in the parish of St. Sepulchre. I keep a public house in Fox and Nott-street. I went to bed at twelve o'clock on the night of the 7th inst. ; my fa mily consists of a son and daughter. I saw the prisoners in my house that night ; they came in at half-past eleven o'clock for some beer ; they did not remain. I was the last person in the house ; the doors and windows were fast ened, locked, and bolted ; the till is kept in the bar ; it was locked that night ; there were from two to five shillings in it. I was disturbed by the calling of the watch at four o'clock in the morning. I went down stairs, and I found the bar-door open, and the lock of the till also forced ; the money was taken out of it. I lost seven tea-spoons ; the bolt of the door was loosened. I think the prisoners came in by a side window, which I found open on coming down stairs ; there were also taken a pair of sugar-tongs, two shawls, and other articles. A servant girl of the prosecutrix's deposed to the state of the house on th• night of the robbery. The police inspector proved, that having reason to sus pect the prisoners he placed a watch upon them, and found them in bcd, at about half-past four o'clock on the morning of the Sth inst.. The articles stolen from Mrs. Pettinger were in the possession of the prisoners. They denied hav ing been at her house that night. Mr. PHILLIPPS addressed the Jury on behalf of the pri soners. He contended that there was no proof ; at all events there was considerable doubt as to the commission of the burglary, which was a much more serious offence than the other charge in the indictment. He also said the possession of the stolen goods by Mead should not involve the other prisoner in the consequences of the crime. The prisoners were found guilty of the full charge laid in the indictment. Jane Alexander and Jane Tyer were placed at the bar charged with having on the Bth instant burglariously en tered the apartments of Lieutenant Berney Varlow, at Woolwich, and stealing therefrom several articles. Bernew Varlow.—l am a Lieutenant in the Royal Marines ; I was quartered at Woolwich at the time of the commission of the offence which I now prosecute ; there were no other officers in the house at the time. On Tuesday, the Bth of November, I left my quarters at about a quarter before six in the afternoon, and was absent Ott my return 1 was miormed by a ser geant that a robbery had been committed in my rooms. I saw several articles afterwards at the guard-house, which were my property, and safe when I left my rooms. Cross-examined by Mr. Pllmarrs—'Tyer had been in the habit of calling at my quarters. Alexander was there twice. I know the former about three years, the latter about a month previous to this occurrence ; they were in my rooms a few days before it. One remained half an hour, the other two hours. We had some drink. Tyer was in the habit of sitting and drinking for several hours to gether with me, sometimes wine, sometimes spirits and water. We were on intimate terms. Charles Haves—l am a set jeant in the Royal Marines. On the Bth of November I went to the quarters of my Lieutenant at about ten o'clock. I found the prisoner Tyer in the, area of the house next to it, lying on her back and very drunk. There were three table-cloths and a pair of trowsers near her. The door of the Lieutenant's quar ters were open, also his private door. I saw a basket in side on the table with a pillow case in it. I locked the door, and on Mr. Varlow's return, I gave him the key. I detained the prisoner Tyer in the guard room ; the other informed me of the transaction ; she went back with me to the Lieutenant's quarters. Edward Lappidge, a private in the Royal Marines, and servant of the prosecutor's, proved that on the evening of the robbery the prisoners came to his master's apartments, saying they had met Mr. Varlow in the street, who desired them to go to his rooms and get some liquor. The witness refused to give them any, upon which they went away. The articles which were afterwards stolen were then in the Lieutenant's quarters, and the witness locked the door. The watchman, who apprehended the prisoners, stated that Tyer, upon being asked before the Magistrate how she entered the prosecutor's apartments, said she found the key under the door, and opened it herself. A shawl, be longing to Tyer, was found in the room. Charles S. Wardell—l am a Police Inspector of Wool wich parish. I apprehended Jane Alexander for being con cerned in the robbery at Lieutenant Varlow's with Jane Tyer ; she said she was present previous to its occurrence. I searched her, and found a prayer-book, and a box, con taining a ring and some moon stones. I also searched Tyer. Three pocket-handkerchiefs fell from beneath her gown. Cross-examined.—Alexander told me, that after the ser vant had locked the door she went away, and on her return she found the articles lying beside Jane Tyer. The several articles were identified by Mr. Varlow as his property. Mr. I'mwres addressed the Jury on behalf of the.pri soners, after which Mr. Baron BOLLANb summed up the evidence. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. NEW COURT. Mary Collins was convicted of stealing some silver spoons and two gold rings from her master, Mr. B. B. Warren. Some pawnbrokers, with whom the property bad been pawned, refused to swear to the prisoner's identity, on which the COMMON SERGEANT said their expenses would not be allowed, and that if pawnbrokers were more on the alert fewer robberies would be committed. John Little, a smart lad, aged 17, was convicted of stea li n g a piece of merino of the value of 31., the property of T. Braithwaite. LEEDS ELECTION.—AC the recent meeting the prevailing opinion, so far as it was expressed, was decid edly in favour of Sir William Mclesworth and Mr. Baines, as candidates most likely to unite the Reformers, and en sure their successful support in the event of a new election. Some pretty plain speaking was indulged in, and Mr. Baines was told that the opposition manifested by the Mer cury to peerage reform had made more radicals than all the efforts of other parties put together.—Hull Observer.
